Chorus (all together): 
           D 
      This is the last cowboy song  
                                    G 
      The end of a hundred year waltz 
              A 
      The voices sound sad as they're singing along 
                                     D 
      Another piece of America is lost 
 
Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings) 
            D 
      He rides the feed lots,works in a market 
                                       A 
      On weekend selling tobacco and beer 
 
      He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences 
                                                        D 
      But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here 
 
Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson) 
           D 
      He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark 
                                                 A 
      And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down 
 
      He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas 
                                                    D 
      And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down 
 
Chorus. 
 
Verse 3:(Willie Nelson) 
           D 
      Remington showed us how he looked on canvas 
                                      A 
      And Louis Lamour told us his tale 
 
      Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him 
                                                   D 
      And wish to God we could have ridden his trail 
 
Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus. 
           D 
      The old chisom trail is covered in concrete 
                                               G 
      They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs 
           A 
      They roll by his graveside and don't even notice 
                                               D 
      Like living and dieing was all he ever did 
 
Chorus.
